The Wind of Emptiness
TAIWAN SUFI-ZEN MEDITION CAMP ON 15-24 May, 2008
Just as the bird has two wings

let love and meditation be your two wings

~ Osho~

Sufi is the expression of the ancient wisdom of the heart, and the path of love born from that wisdom. Zen is the silence, the sky, of that wisdom.

This unique process is a journey to silence through love, and to love through silence.

Zikhr, breath, music, dance, poetry, the Sufi path and joy, will take us into the open space of the heart, the door, the bridge,to the silent lake of our being.

A structured process of Sufi whirling, Zen sitting, and Zen walking. Whirling take us into the many expression of ourself, and finally to the state of union; sitting in Zazen, listening to Sufi poetry and Zen haiku will help to remember the wisdom and the silence of our true nature. Finding the silence, the stillness, in our whirling, and the song, the dance in our sitting. This camp is a powerful process of emptying ourself, an atmosphere where love flowers into meditation.A path to allow the empty space to be revealed.
Someone once asked to Mevlana Rumi: “If you believe in silence, why have you done nothing but talk and talk and write and sing and dance?” He laughed and said: “The luminous one inside me has never said a word.”

We have dropped all works and profession

we have nothing but poetry and love songs now

We sing of the heart, soul, and beloved

Only to burn all trace of heart, soul, and beloved
